“I've been shopping at Renew since it opened. The transition to it being run by Blue Jacket was smooth and it's a great place to find bargains and help a good cause.”

“Blue Jacket is simply amazing! My husband shopped at Renew today and found amazing decor for our house. Not only did he have a wonderful experience, he also found great treasures that we already have on display (less than an hour after he finished shopping), and we know the money he spent is going directly back to serving people in our community! We are PROUD to support this amazing local organization and ALWAYS happy with the experiences we have at ALL of their social enterprises!”
“A beautiful store with many beautiful things. Every time I go I’m amazed at what I find. You never know what you will find here. Reasonably priced items can be found for anyone.”
“This is my favorite thrift store in town! The owners are so helpful and friendly and you can find some really incredible pieces here! I never leave without a load of goodies. Cannot recommend it enough ?”
“Had the pleasure of meeting and helping some of their employees and or volunteers when they came in to MetalX for a few items to recycle. . I think there a great place that helps”
“This is one of my favorite thrift stores on this side of town. I come in usually once a week to fill every bare space of my walls at home. Some items could stand to be lower prices (I continue to find dollar store items or small plastic items marked up to $1.99), but the friendliness of the employees and cleanliness/organization makes up for it. You are also helping the community directly when you shop, which I always like to see. Another piece of feedback is I would love to see a loyalty program introduced (points, punchcard, etc.) Thanks for helping me maximize my decor!”
“I just love going here. The store is always clean and organized with a great variety, and I receive a 10% Veterans' discount no matter what day it is. Every Thursday is 20% Senior Discount day, and they give it to you if you are 50 or over... Most 50 year Olds don't feel like Seniors these days...(50 is the new 30, right?) But you may as well take the win when you've been on this Earth over a 1/2 century. Anyway, the staff is super friendly and it's an adventure worth the trip. Oh... and save your receipt because it's worth 10% off your next trip!”
“So impressed with this place!! I walked in and the clothes were color coordinated, sizes actually in the correct spots, and the clothes were in great condition. The shoe section had a good selection and so many were cute. The dressing rooms were clean and a nice size. They also have jewelry, home decor, and kids items. The prices are also very fair. The staff was kind and helpful. It’s such a wonderful little spot if you enjoy thrifting!”
“GREAT SELECTION OF CLOTHES FOR ANY SEASON OF THE YEAR. I LOVE THE COVERALLS AND WINTER APPAREL THEY HAVE AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY WINTER. GREAT PRICES ON ALL OF IT. THEY ALSO HAVE SMALL SELECTION SPORTS EQUIPMENT AND OTHER MISC. STUFF. I GOT SOME BADA#% ROLLERBLADES LAST YEAR. BRANDNEW TO. LOOKED EM UP AND THEY WERE 280 DOLLAR BLADES FOR UNDER 10 BUCKS...LOL”

“I LOVE both donating and shopping at the FW Restore. I have an empty box in my garage and every time I am finished with something that could be sold there I put it in the box and when it’s full I drive right up under the convenient canopy and someone comes out to get my donation, regardless of the weather. I regularly shop at the store also and have found some of the most useful and unusual things there. My church does an annual fish and tenderloin fry and 100% of the proceeds goes to Habitat for Humanity. Such a good cause and an amazing organization”

“From the street driving up in the area, there will be a giant sign that you can't miss. This store is located between Popeyes and a Fairfield hotel right across from a Home Depot. The store hours are located in front of the entrance door. What I did enjoy about coming in here is how well organized all the items are on display. This is a wonderful place if you're looking for affordability. If you're thinking about throwing away items, you're not going anywhere to do it. You no longer want to keep think about how others could benefit and why not donate it. I was rather surprised to see certain items. I think you will too if you come here and give it a look.”
“I own a small antique store, always can find great items for resale, pricing is fair, staff is always helpful… I know lots of others feel differently, maybe caught them on a bad day. Give them try you might find something worth taking home.”

“Excellent selection on name brand clothes. unlike the Goodwill, you know that your money is going towards men who have a second chance at life after struggling with addiction.”
“CHEERS!!! to the Goodwill on Lima Road, my experience was more than a lovely one. I was there looking for some inspiration for my new bedroom. That day the Thrift God's was there blessing me...? I found a Ralph Lauren floral bed set, and two more bed sets. They all were in prestine condition! The employees let me take up an whole back area to stretch out my bed sets (looking for holes or missing peices), which I found nothing that couldn't be fixed. Then I had to figure out how I was going to go to Burlington to shop for granbabies school clothes. The manager let me leave my 4 big bags there until I finished shopping at Burlington. The young man that served me at the check out, was so delightful and concerned about my well-being. Especially after I shared that I have MS and it would be in possible for me to carry all my beautiful finds around Burlington. When I came back before they closed, he called out my name when I opened the door, (with concern) to inform me that he was starting to worry, if I was going to make it back in time before they closed! GOODWILL, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU MADE MY DAY! SO ONCE AGAIN CHEERS TO YOU FOR SUCH A LOVELY AND MUCH NEEDED EXPERIENCE ? ?....”

“The Dupont Salvation Army Family Store has upped its game. The manager Amy has a great team that provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere with affordable pricing and good product. ?”
“Very friendly , clean, great selection (my daughter loves going there), and overall wished they were closer. On a side note, the cashier told me about a program they started working with those with disabilities to go into the work force. Monday, I will be calling to find out more information! Thank you for making this community better!”
“This place is uhhmazing! I almost couldn’t believe it is a thrift store. The staff is so wonderful and helpful and the clothes are almost all name brand and so well organized. The prices can’t be beat!”
